New Orleans Archives – On Points With Kids

The Eliza Jane, the Hotel Review

Last December, we spent a few nights in New Orleans. This vibrant, historic city attracts many tourists yearly, and we decided to visit it right before Christmas. We hoped to combine exploring New Orleans’ attractions with diving into the Christmas spirit with festively decorated streets.

When looking for a place to stay, we quickly checked the Hyatt map of hotels in New Orleans so that we could book our stay on points. It appeared there are five Hyatt properties in the city, representing 5 Hyatt brands (or collections) – Hyatt House, Hyatt Place, Hyatt Centric, Hyatt Regency, and The Eliza Jane from the Unbound Collection. After some consideration, we decided upon the latter. Located on the Magazine Street, this boutique hotel is only a few minutes from the famous French Quarter.

This December, we spent a few days in New Orleans, Louisiana. When planning this trip back in July, we pictured ourselves having café au lait in a historic courtyard of the French Quarter and kids enjoying the sunny southern days (and maybe a little bit of rain).

Can you imagine December of 2022 being one of the coldest winters in New Orleans’ history 🥶? On some days, the temperature dropped to 20F (-4C), and it got quite chilly with wind gusts. Thus being said, we did what we could to explore this beautiful city. Although we had to miss out on some of the activities because of the weather, the girls and us accomplished a lot, and we can’t wait to share that with you.
